GoD Article: The Incredibles is NOT a Fantastic Four movie

Check out Joey’s new Geeks of Doom article!

Excerpt:

A new Fantastic Four movie was just released from Fox. This… is not about that movie. This is about the way we fans talk about Fantastic Four movies, and how we may, in fact, be getting it wrong.

I’ve seen it happen enough to be a foregone conclusion: when discussing Marvel comics on film, if you bring up the Fantastic Four, somebody will return volley with, “If you want to see a perfect Fantastic Four movie, go watch The Incredibles.” I’ve done it myself — MANY times — and that particular refrain got louder and more frequent the closer we got to the release of the latest Fox effort. But, hearing some variation of that statement repeated so often kinda got me wondering… are we actually right about that?

Write to the Reckstar Letters page!

Hey, here’s a fun experiment that could go horribly wrong!

We’ll be printing the first chapter of Reckstar as a comic book issue soon, and as a bit of added value I’d LOVE to do a letters column for the backmatter. But, a letters page without letters is like a… well… it’s kind of its own analogy, isn’t it?

Luckily, we have YOU lovely people!

gunsplease

Pretty, pretty please, with a Daisy on top, send in your comments, your complaints, and your questions — ESPECIALLY your questions. Do you have questions about the comic? About us? About our favorite music, movies, or breed of dog? We want to answer them (probably)!

Feel free to be as wacky, sarcastic, and/or creative as you like (but do keep in mind our intended PG13 rating — excessive profanity WILL be altered in silly ways).

Also keep in mind that these are for publication in the Chapter 1 issue, which means if you write in about stuff from Chapter 2, we’ll likely postpone publishing that until we print Chapter 2.

 

Send your letters through the following form:

(feel free to include your location, your website, and any other identifying info you want included — your email address won’t be printed; that’s just so we can contact you if needed)

a-ahem…

patreon_name_and_message

 

Reckstar turns one year old today and, we thought, what better way to celebrate than to finally launch the Patreon campaign we’ve been planning for… well… a year.

If you don’t know what Patreon is, this lovely, perfectly crafted video explains it:

If that’s not informative enough, you can also watch THIS lovely, perfectly crafted video, where I explain a little more about our campaign:

And, of course, you can learn even more by visiting patreon.com/Reckstar and reading all about our goals and rewards. G’wan, click through, you know you’re curious.

We’ll be adding names (and blatant lies) to the Special Thanks section of our Support page here on the main site, as well as updating the activity feed on the Patreon page with news and Clubhouse content for our patrons.

**Special note regarding the coming hiatus between chapters: each month’s Patreon earnings will be split between the artists who contributed to that month.**

~*~*~*~

Finally, we want to thank EVERYONE who has read our comic, reviewed us, spread the word, and helped make this the most encouraging and rewarding first year. We love you guys & gals and truly appreciate everything you do. No joke.

(well… some jokes)

The Coming Hiatus

Jul07

Reckstar chapter 2 ends August 4, 2015

As with last year, there will be a hiatus before the start of chapter 3! But, unlike last year, we… don’t… exactly… know when chapter 3 will start.

Here’s how it is…

Our intent has always been to keep the Reckstar production schedule one full chapter ahead. We wanted to avoid the sort of delays that can leave so many webcomics stalled out, with readers wondering when, if ever, they might resume again. This plan worked — at first.

But, early in the run of chapter 2, we ran into a delay… namely, me. You can say I got busy, life intervened, blah blah whatever — it was my fault. Michelle didn’t have a script. So, to her amazing credit, she kept busy by drawing little vignettes for the inevitable hiatus (because Michelle is a rockstar).

Just when things calmed down enough for me to focus on the script and start sending Michelle pages… SHE got some amazing news (which should be announced soon), which will mean an even longer delay for chapter 3.

So, what would have been a three or four week hiatus has grown into a “We’re working as fast as we possibly can” hiatus. Chapter 3 is still in production, and I would much rather delays happen in between chapters than during them, so we’ll only begin posting once we’re close to done with it. Hopefully, that won’t take more than two or three months.

In the meantime, we WILL continue to post new content every week. We already have more guest contributors lined up for this hiatus than we had for the previous one, and we’re hoping to gain even more. I’ll be drawing a new comic for it (beware), and we’ll have Michelle’s vignettes sprinkled throughout. We don’t want to break the streak, so if need be, I’ll even post up behind the scenes stuff, concept art, etc.

On top of all this, chapter 3 is shaping up to be our most ambitious installment yet (contributing in no small way to its delay), and Michelle’s work on the early pages is absolutely gorgeous. We want to make it special, so when it DOES arrive, it will have been worth the wait.

Thanks for your patience. Please enjoy the rest of chapter 2 and the work of our guest contributors. And, just to prove it’s really happening, here’s a sneak preview of chapter 3’s cover!
